dc.description.abstractThe use of mobile technologies in the classroom is transforming teaching and learning in higher institutions. This study investigated University of Ghana Distance Education students’ perceptions toward mobile learning. The paper using the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) explained how students’ beliefs influenced students’ intention to adopt m-learning. Findings from the study showed that most of the students had mobile phones, and used them for conversation and texting. Young students were more likely to have smart phones that their older colleagues. Factor analysis was further conducted which showed strong loadings of factors such as intentions and perceived behavioral control confirming that the TPB explained the students’ m-learning readiness very well. Thus, attitude, subjective norm and behavioral control influenced students’ intention to adopt m-learning. The results provide valuable information on ways to implement mlearning programs incorporating the voice and needs of students.en_US
